Psalmorum 114

1 Alleluia. In exitu Israel de Ægypto, domus Iacob de populo barbaro:

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:

2 Facta est Iudæa sanctificatio eius, Israel potestas eius.

Judea made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3 Mare vidit, et fugit: Iordanis conversus est retrorsum.

The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

4 Montes exultaverunt ut arietes: et colles sicut agni ovium.

The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like the lambs of the flock.

5 Quid est tibi mare quod fugisti: et tu Iordanis, quia conversus es retrorsum?

What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?

6 Montes exultastis sicut arietes, et colles sicut agni ovium?

Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?

7 A facie Domini mota est terra, a facie Dei Iacob.

At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, at the presence of the God of Jacob:

8 Qui convertit petram in stagna aquarum, et rupem in fontes aquarum.

Who turned the rock into pools of water, and the stony hill into fountains of waters.
